If you've ever tackled a project at home, you know the part nobody puts in the before-and-after photos.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗽.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The dozens of small tasks that have to happen before the finished product takes shape.

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟵:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠, we'll be working on the next phase of our kitchen project, helping prepare the space for what's ahead.

It's not glamorous work, but it's important work. And a few extra hands can make a big difference.

A few months ago, our front desk coordinator had to take some time away from work.

We had plans in place. The phones were answered. Visitors were greeted. The work still got done.

But it wasn't quite the same.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿. Staff noticed it. Residents noticed it.

We missed the warm welcome, the familiar face, and the way she could make both residents and staff feel at home the moment they walked through the door.

It's funny how much difference one consistent person can make.

Around here, we see that every day.

Recovery comes with enough uncertainty on its own. That's why we work hard to create environments where residents know who they'll see, where they'll go, and that someone will be there to welcome them when they walk through the door.

Sometimes the smallest things leave the biggest gap when they're gone.

Thank you to everyone who helps make that consistency possible: 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳, 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. Your support helps create the kind of environment where people can focus on rebuilding their lives.

This 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟵:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠, we're rolling up our sleeves and giving our kitchen some much-needed attention.

As improvements continue to take shape, there's cleanup, organizing, and project work to be done to help move things forward.

No special skills are required. Whether you can stay for an hour or the morning, every helping hand makes a difference.

There's something satisfying about stepping back at the end of a project day and seeing how much was accomplished together.

Summer may be "𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿" hot here in Arizona, but the kids at Little Dreamers Schoolhouse are finding plenty of ways to stay cool while learning, creating, and growing.

Beginning June 16, our Dream Summer Program will provide six weeks of fun, creativity, and hands-on learning for children whose families are rebuilding their lives through recovery.

Some kids will spend the summer painting rocks and discovering new artistic talents. Others will be creating vision boards, building projects, trying new activities, and working on creations they can't wait to show their parents.

Along the way, they'll be doing what kids do best: making friends, exploring new ideas, and filling classrooms with laughter.

All of it happens in a safe and consistent environment where children are encouraged to learn, create, and simply be kids.

Some of the most important work happens behind the scenes.

On 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵, volunteers will help organize donations, prepare spaces, and complete projects that support the daily work happening across our campuses.

Every organized shelf, prepared room, and completed task helps create an environment where recovery, healing, and hope can continue.

No special skills are required, just a willingness to show up and help where needed.

Join us for our Quarterly Volunteer Event on 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵. We'd love to have you serve alongside us. Visit https://wherehopelives.org/quarterly-volunteer-event-page to sign up.

Some of the sweetest moments at Little Dreamers Schoolhouse happen in the middle of ordinary afternoons.

Homework spread across tables. Paint drying on tiny hands. Kids excited to show off a project they worked hard on.

During our Friday campus tours, guests get the opportunity to see the spaces where children are learning, creating, building friendships, and simply getting to be kids while families continue the work of recovery.

There’s something powerful about seeing it in person.

So many people showed up ready to play, laugh, compete, and support the work happening at the Phoenix Dream Center. From the first matches to the last conversations hanging around afterward, it was just a really good day.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, volunteered, donated, and helped make the event what it was.

And an extra thank you to @𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗡 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 - 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲 taking such great care of everyone and making the entire event feel effortless from start to finish. The team there did an incredible job, and we’re so grateful for their partnership and support.

We loved getting to spend the day with all of you and already can’t wait to do it again.

Markers without caps. Glue sticks are rolling around. Someone was very seriously trying to make sure the ribbon stayed exactly where they wanted it.

They put a lot into them.

This week, the tables were covered in bright paper and half-finished pinwheels as everyone started shifting into summer mode around here.

There’s already a lot of excitement building for the summer program. More projects. More messy tables. More moments for kids to create, connect, and just be kids for a while.

We’re starting to gather a few supplies for the months ahead and would love help with a couple items:

• 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀
• 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
• 𝗔𝗻 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 (𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿!)

Donations can be dropped off in the front lobby at:

Please let the front desk know the donation is for Tabby in Childcare.

Nothing fancy. Just helping straighten up before dinner.

A staff member asked if she wanted to take a break, and she shook her head without looking up. “I’m almost done.”

Recovery here usually looks more like this.

Small routines. Safe spaces. People showing up again and again.

For many of the girls at Where Hope Lives, healing doesn’t happen all at once. It happens slowly, in ordinary moments that start to feel steady over time.
